Elena A. replied to Claire North's discussion rich creamy fillings without the cream"I've had success using coconut cream in place of cream (for a vegan line I produce). But I've made them only on demand, so I don't know what the extended shelf life is. But it's something you can experiment with easily enough.…"
Brad Churchill replied to Claire North's discussion rich creamy fillings without the cream"I don't think it's a no-no to ask for recipes. The whole purpose of an online forum is to share ideas and help each other.
